Be kind to your hard-working skin! This homemade body butter recipe will leave your skin moisturized and soft, thanks to rich cocoa butter and coconut oil. We love its whipped consistency that goes on smoothly and feels light to the touch.
Whipped Body Butter
Ingredients
1 cup organic coconut oil
1 cup organic solid cocoa butter (do not use lotion)
15 drops of your favorite topical/aromatic essential oil (we love Cedarwood, Lavender, and Frankincense essential oils)
Directions
Warm a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, then add coconut oil and cocoa butter. Melt until completely liquefied, about 4–5 minutes.
Pour into a glass mixing bowl and place in refrigerator for 30–45 minutes to cool and just set but not harden.
Stir in essential oils.
Using an electric hand mixer, whip until firm peaks form, about 10 minutes.
Gently transfer to a seal-able jar or container. Store at room temperature to avoid melting or solidifying.
Massage into dry skin!

My favorite YLEO to use are Ylang and Ylang and Bergamot in my Whipped Body Butter! Lavender and Frankincense or Elemi are two other combos that I love!
I would try Lavender, White Angelica and Peace & Calming to keep a little by the bedside table for relaxation before bed.
I love to use Frankincense and Ylang ylang in my lotions. Helps leave your skin nice and moisturized.
I'd love to make a few batches of this:
Lavender for my little ones
Peppermint for my husband
Thieves because I love this EO so much
I can't wait to make them.
I would use lavender in my body butter!
I plan on trying this recipe, especially for the winter months.
I would make several versions of this body butter. One with Lavender, one with Panaway or Aroma Siez, and one with Joy. Of course, Frankincense is fabulous with anything!
Great DIY....thinking of making this for Christmas gifts!
Lavender, patchouli, & clary sage! My absolute favorite combo!
